[cobirds] Lake Loveland gulls (Larimer)

As the sun went down on Friday, gulls accumulated on the ice shelf forming at the Lake Loveland swim beach in Loveland, CO. In addition to about 300 Ring-billed Gulls, I counted:
Lesser Black-backed Gull-6 adults
Herring Gull -50 or so

I was looking into the sun, so I couldn't really study the numerous large immature gulls. At least one big brown gull didn't look right for first-cycle Herring because it had a bright white rump.

Dave Wade and I will be back there at 7 am tomorrow, if anyone wants to join us. Dress warm.
